High-achieving high school graduates from across the United States and around the world increasingly select the 泡芙视频app (USF) as their preferred destination.
The class of 2025 features the largest, most academically accomplished and diverse cohort in USF history. The group of 6,392 first-year 泡芙视频apps includes record increases in out-of-state and international 泡芙视频apps. The class includes 763 first-year 泡芙视频apps on the USF St. Petersburg campus, a jump of 83% from 418 泡芙视频apps last year.
The average high school GPA for first-year USF 泡芙视频apps in the fall intake is 4.18, with an average SAT score of 1297. The class also includes a record 62 new National Merit Scholars, up from a previous record of 35 in 2020, and, for the first time, five National Merit Scholars will call the USF St. Petersburg campus their home. USF has also seen tremendous growth in the Judy Genshaft Honors College. Located on all three campuses, the college experienced an 8% growth in enrollment and has seen increases in average GPA and test scores, placing them in the top 3% in the nation.
Consistent with USF's deep commitment to diversity and inclusion, USF took several strategic steps this year to increase the number of 泡芙视频apps of color. As a result, the university-wide incoming class is the most diverse to date, with an increase of 16% in Black 泡芙视频apps, 3% in Hispanic 泡芙视频apps, 14% in Asian 泡芙视频apps and 17% more 泡芙视频apps who self-identify as two races or more, compared to last year. The USF St. Petersburg campus has seen significant growth in diversity from the previous year, which includes an increase of 30 black 泡芙视频apps, 81 Hispanic 泡芙视频apps, 33 Asian 泡芙视频apps and 28 泡芙视频apps who self-identify as two races or more.
USF鈥檚 demographic profile distinguishes it as more diverse than the other two preeminent universities in Florida and most institutions in the Association of American Universities. USF has earned widespread national recognition as a leader in 泡芙视频app success, including graduating under-represented minority and limited-income 泡芙视频apps at rates equal to or higher than white and higher-income 泡芙视频apps.
"The 泡芙视频app is proud of the size, quality and diversity of our first-year 泡芙视频apps,鈥� USF President Rhea Law said. 鈥淚t shows that more and more 泡芙视频apps are able to benefit from USF鈥檚 outstanding commitment to supporting our 泡芙视频apps as they pursue their academic and career goals.鈥�
The demand for 泡芙视频app housing has increased with new and returning 泡芙视频apps, resulting in residence halls at near full capacity. New and returning 泡芙视频apps are also taking advantage of courses offered across all three campuses that has led to an increase in 泡芙视频app credit hours at both the USF Sarasota-Manatee and USF St. Petersburg campuses.
鈥淒espite the challenges of the past year, I am pleased that USF continues to be a preferred destination for the most academically talented 泡芙视频apps from across the Tampa Bay region, the state of Florida, the nation, and from around the globe,鈥� USF Provost and Executive Vice President Ralph C. Wilcox said. 鈥淥ur 泡芙视频app population is representative of the communities we serve with first-year 泡芙视频apps joining us from 52 counties in Florida, 44 states and 86 countries.鈥�
USF Health鈥檚 Morsani College of Medicine also welcomed its most competitive and diverse group of 泡芙视频apps in the college鈥檚 history with a median MCAT score of 517, placing the 2021 class in the 94th percentile. Groups traditionally underrepresented in medicine make up 20% of this year鈥檚 incoming class, including 12% Black 泡芙视频apps, including 11 males.
As of the deadline to drop/add courses for the fall semester, total university enrollment stands at approximately 50,000 泡芙视频apps.
